While I was knocking doors the other day, I handed someone a flyer with my cell phone number on it. He looked at it and asked, somewhat surprised, “Is this really your number?”
It is.
I have always made my cell phone number publicly available. I do not have paid staff answering calls for me. When you call that number, you are calling me. If I am able to answer, I will. If I miss your call, I will personally return it.
Most people are surprised when I answer. But to me, that is exactly how public service should work.
Representing our community is not just about casting votes at the Capitol. It is about listening. It is about returning a call when someone is frustrated and does not know where else to turn. It is about helping a family navigate a government agency, working through a problem involving a local road or school, or simply taking the time to hear someone’s perspective, even when we may not agree.
Some of the most meaningful moments I have had in the Legislature have come from helping someone solve a problem that may never make the news or show up in a campaign mailer, but matters deeply to that person and their family.
I am grateful for everyone who has taken the time to call, text, email, or stop me in the neighborhood to share a concern or an idea. It is one of my very favorite parts of serving our community.
I share my phone number because I want you to know that I am accessible and always ready to hear from you.
If you ever have a question, concern, or idea, please feel free to call or text me directly at 801-810-6170.
The wait is over! Utah’s new America 250 license plate is officially available starting today. 🇺🇸
I serve as one of the three members of Utah’s License Plate Design Review Board, and I was glad to help move this plate through the process of design and approval. The 13-star flag, the “1776,” and the clean, classic look make this a great way to commemorate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding.
You can order yours online at:
mvp.tax.utah.gov/
Once you are logged in, click “Change My Plate” and select the America 250 design. There is a one-time $16.50 fee to switch your plate, which covers the cost of the new plate and postage. There is no additional annual fee for this design.
We have also been working hard over the past year to redesign Utah’s special group license plates. The updated designs will be available to order on July 1, and I am excited for people to see them. As they are announced, I’ll share some of my favorites. There are some really cool plates coming.

Firefighters face significant cancer risks because of repeated exposure to smoke, chemicals, and toxic materials over the course of their careers.
Utah has made important progress in recent years, including the creation of a nationally recognized firefighter cancer screening program, which I was proud to co-sponsor.
But screening alone is not enough. When a firefighter receives a cancer diagnosis, treatment should not be delayed while a workers’ compensation claim works its way through the system.
That is why I sponsored HB416 this past session to create a firefighter cancer treatment trust fund. The purpose is straightforward: make sure firefighters can access benefits when they need them, without unnecessary delays.
I’m continuing to work closely with firefighters as we implement the program and make it one of the best in the country.
This is a practical step that will make a real difference for firefighters and their families during an incredibly difficult time.

Every parent has seen it. Kids spending hours scrolling. Algorithms pushing harmful content. Social media companies competing for attention at the expense of children’s mental health.
That’s why I’ve helped lead Utah’s fight to protect kids online.
I sponsored legislation to ban addictive features targeting minors, require parental consent for youth accounts, restrict data collection on kids, and give parents more visibility and control.
We took on Big Tech before most states were even paying attention. Now the rest of the country is following Utah’s lead.
I strongly believe kids deserve to grow up with real friendships, real experiences, and real childhoods, not trapped behind screens controlled by algorithms designed to keep them addicted.
This fight matters, and I’ll keep showing up for it.
